Anti-Spyware Coalition publishes spyware guidelines

The ASC, a group dedicated into building a consensus about definitions and best practices surrounding spyware and other potentially unwanted technologies, published today a set of guidelines to help define what spywares are all about.

Composed of anti-spyware software companies such as Microsoft, Yahoo, AOL, McAfee, Symantec, Adaware, and numerous others, the ASC seeks to bring together a diverse array of perspective on the problem of controlling spyware and other potentially unwanted technologies.
